Can I use a .shop domain with Shopify or WooCommerce?

Yes, you can absolutely use a .shop domain with both Shopify and WooCommerce. Here’s how it works for each:

Using a .shop Domain with Shopify

Shopify supports all domain extensions, including .shop.
After purchasing your .shop domain (from a registrar like Truehost), you can:
1. Log into your Shopify admin.
2. Go to Settings > Domains.
3. Click Connect existing domain.
4. Enter your .shop domain name.
5. Update your DNS records (like A Record and CNAME) at your domain registrar to point to Shopify’s servers.

Shopify provides clear step-by-step guidance during the setup, and your store will be live on your .shop domain shortly after DNS propagation.

Using a .shop Domain with WooCommerce

WooCommerce runs on WordPress, so you need to:
1. Ensure your .shop domain is pointing to your web hosting provider (e.g., via nameservers).
2. Install WordPress.
3. Add the WooCommerce plugin.
Once WordPress is live on your .shop domain, your WooCommerce store will also be accessible on that domain.

Is a .shop domain good for SEO?

Yes, a .shop domain can be good for SEO, but with a few important clarifications.

How a .shop Domain Affects SEO

This can help with direct traffic, backlinks, and brand visibility.

Google treats all domains equally. Google has confirmed that all top-level domains (TLDs), including .shop, are treated the same as .com, .net, etc., in terms of search rankings. So using `.shop will not hurt your SEO** just because it’s a newer or less common TLD.
Relevance can improve click-through rates (CTR). A .shop domain tells users immediately that you’re selling something. This clear intent can make people more likely to click your link on search results, which may positively impact SEO indirectly.
Shorter, brandable names are easier to remember and link to. A good .shop domain like trendywear.shop is more memorable than trendywear-online-store.com.

Is SSL included with a .shop domain?

When you host your .shop domain with Truehost, you receive free auto-installed SSL certificates that secure your website with HTTPS. This enhances trust and boosts your SEO rankings.

Can I transfer my existing .shop domain to Truehost?

Yes — you can transfer your existing .shop domain to Truehost, and doing so comes with several benefits:

Transfer Eligibility & Benefits

Upon transfer, you’ll receive 1 extra year added to your domain registration, enjoy lower renewal rates, and get access to their DNS, email, and SSL toolss.

Truehost explicitly supports transferring .shop domains into their platform (from hosting FAQs and domain pages).

How do I protect my .shop domain from hijacking or expiry?

How to Protect Your .shop Domain

Enable Domain Lock – Prevents unauthorized transfers.
Turn on Auto-Renew – Avoids accidental expiry.
Update Contact Info – Get alerts and renewal notices.
Use 2FA – Secures your domain account from hacking.
Enable WHOIS Privacy – Hides personal details from public view.
Renew Early – Don’t wait until the last minute.
Check Regularly – Monitor domain status and settings.

Can I register multiple .shop domains?

Yes, you can register multiple .shop domains — there’s no limit to how many you can own.
